Pages : 338
Book Description
Instant National Bestseller A PBS NewsHour-New York Times Book Club Pick "Excellent." —San Francisco Chronicle Silicon Valley is a modern utopia where anyone can change the world. Unless you're a woman. It's time to break up the boys' club. Incisive, powerful, and a fierce rallying cry, Emily Chang shows us how to fix Silicon Valley’s toxic culture--to bring down Brotopia, once and for all. Silicon Valley is not a fantasyland of unicorns, virtual reality rainbows, and 3D-printed lollipops for women in tech. Instead, it’s a "Brotopia," where men hold the cards and make the rules. While millions of dollars may seem to grow on trees in this land of innovation, tech’s aggressive, misogynistic, work-at-all costs culture has shut women out of the greatest wealth creation in the history of the world. Brotopia reveals how Silicon Valley got so sexist despite its utopian ideals, why bro culture endures even as its companies claim the moral high ground, and how women are speaking out and fighting back. Drawing on her deep network of Silicon Valley insiders, Chang opens the boardroom doors of male-dominated venture capital firms like Kleiner Perkins, the subject of Ellen Pao's high-profile gender discrimination lawsuit, and Sequoia, where a partner once famously said they "won't lower their standards" just to hire women. Exposing the flawed logic in common excuses for why tech has long suffered the “pipeline” problem and invests in the delusion of meritocracy, Brotopia also shows how bias coded into AI, internet troll culture, and the reliance on pattern recognition harms not just women in tech but us all, and at unprecedented scale.

Book Description
In Breaking the Cycle: How to Heal Generational Trauma and Rewrite Your Story, Rosie Peggy Greenwood offers a compassionate and empowering guide to understanding and healing from the deep wounds of generational trauma. This transformative book explores how the unspoken pains and unresolved issues of our ancestors can shape our lives in profound ways, influencing our relationships, mental health, and overall sense of self. With a blend of personal stories, scientific research, and practical exercises, Greenwood provides readers with the tools they need to break free from the past and create a brighter, healthier future for themselves and future generations. Understanding Generational Trauma: Generational trauma, also known as intergenerational trauma, refers to the transmission of traumatic experiences and emotional pain from one generation to the next. It can manifest in various ways, such as patterns of abuse, addiction, anxiety, depression, and emotional disconnection, often without the individual understanding the root cause of their struggles. Breaking the Cycle delves into the science behind this phenomenon, drawing on research in epigenetics, psychology, and family systems theory to explain how trauma can be passed down through the generations and how it impacts our lives today. The Healing Journey: This book is not just about understanding trauma; it’s about healing it. Greenwood guides readers through a step-by-step process of identifying and addressing the generational patterns that may be holding them back. With chapters dedicated to self-awareness, mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), family systems therapy, and narrative therapy, Breaking the Cycle offers a comprehensive toolkit for healing. Each chapter is filled with practical exercises, reflection prompts, and actionable strategies designed to help readers uncover hidden wounds, challenge limiting beliefs, and rewrite their personal and family narratives. Inspiring Stories of Transformation: Throughout the book, readers will find inspiring stories of individuals and families who have successfully broken the cycle of generational trauma. These stories illustrate the diverse paths to healing and demonstrate that transformation is possible, no matter how deep the pain or how long the trauma has been present. By sharing these real-life examples, Greenwood offers hope and encouragement, showing that it is possible to overcome the past and build a new legacy rooted in resilience, empowerment, and love. Building a New Legacy: Breaking the Cycle is also a guide to building a new legacy—one that is free from the constraints of the past and rich with possibility for the future. Greenwood emphasizes the importance of cultivating positive habits, establishing healthy relationships, and engaging in communities that foster growth and healing. The book provides specific guidance for parents on how to raise children in a way that prevents the transmission of trauma, ensuring a healthier emotional and psychological environment for the next generation. A Lifelong Commitment to Healing: Healing from generational trauma is not a one-time event; it is a lifelong journey. Breaking the Cycle reinforces the idea that healing is a continuous process, with its own set of challenges and rewards. Greenwood encourages readers to stay committed to their path of transformation, offering words of empowerment and hope. She reminds readers that they have the power to change their story, break free from the past, and create a future that is defined by strength, resilience, and hope.

The Make-or-Break Year
Author: Emily Krone Phillips
Publisher: The New Press
ISBN: 1620973243
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
A Washington Post Bestseller An entirely fresh approach to ending the high school dropout crisis is revealed in this groundbreaking chronicle of unprecedented transformation in a city notorious for its "failing schools" In eighth grade, Eric thought he was going places. But by his second semester of freshman year at Hancock High, his D's in Environmental Science and French, plus an F in Mr. Castillo's Honors Algebra class, might have suggested otherwise. Research shows that students with more than one semester F during their freshman year are very unlikely to graduate. If Eric had attended Hancock—or any number of Chicago's public high schools—just a decade earlier, chances are good he would have dropped out. Instead, Hancock's new way of responding to failing grades, missed homework, and other red flags made it possible for Eric to get back on track. The Make-or-Break Year is the largely untold story of how a simple idea—that reorganizing schools to get students through the treacherous transitions of freshman year greatly increases the odds of those students graduating—changed the course of two Chicago high schools, an entire school system, and thousands of lives. Marshaling groundbreaking research on the teenage brain, peer relationships, and academic performance, journalist turned communications expert Emily Krone Phillips details the emergence of Freshman OnTrack, a program-cum-movement that is translating knowledge into action—and revolutionizing how teachers grade, mete out discipline, and provide social, emotional, and academic support to their students. This vivid description of real change in a faulty system will captivate anyone who cares about improving our nation's schools; it will inspire educators and families to reimagine their relationships with students like Eric, and others whose stories affirm the pivotal nature of ninth grade for all young people. In a moment of relentless focus on what doesn't work in education and the public sphere, Phillips's dramatic account examines what does.

In this gripping, atmospheric family drama, a young woman investigates the forty--year--old murder that inspired her mother's bestselling novel, and uncovers devastating truths--and dangerous lies. Reformed party girl Meg Ashley leads a life of privilege, thanks to a bestselling horror novel her mother wrote decades ago.

Desperate to break free of her mother, Meg accepts a proposal to write a scandalous, tell-all memoir. Digging into the past--and her mother's cult classic--draws Meg to Bonny Island, Georgia, and an unusual woman said to be the inspiration for the book. At first island life seems idyllic, but as Meg starts to ask tough questions, disturbing revelations come to light...including some about her mother.

Book Description
In this gripping, atmospheric family drama, a young woman investigates the forty--year--old murder that inspired her mother's bestselling novel, and uncovers devastating truths--and dangerous lies. Reformed party girl Meg Ashley leads a life of privilege, thanks to a bestselling horror novel her mother wrote decades ago. But Meg knows that the glow of their very public life hides a darker reality of lies, manipulation, and the heartbreak of her own solitary childhood. Desperate to break free of her mother, Meg accepts a proposal to write a scandalous, tell-all memoir. Digging into the past--and her mother's cult classic--draws Meg to Bonny Island, Georgia, and an unusual woman said to be the inspiration for the book.
